Title: Which tests are compulsorily done before LL?
Post by: alps on June 22, 2016, 12:28:45 AM

compulsorily, not ones only some doctors do, like Dr. Guichet's cybex test.

Blood tests and x-rays are the only things that are required across the board I think.

don't they even do a bone density test (to see if you have osteoporosis) ?

 I know that they request also a complete blood test (renal function, liver function, throid etc..).

 The chances of you having osteoporosis at the age of 20-50 is very very very very very very very low
